Hello everyone!
My name is Blaire, I'm 28 years old.
I live with my husband, our 3 year old daughter, Farrah, and our two gentle giant pitbulls,
Axl and Rose (for all you Guns N' Roses fans out there).
My husband, Ray, was born in Iran a few months before the Iraq-Iran War began.
One day while he was sitting in his first grade class, his elementary school was bombed.
So his younger brother, his father, and his mom who was pregnant with his little sister
began their journey to the United States.
Ray runs the family Dairy Queen (yes, my husband owns a Dairy Queen), his younger brother is
a Chief in the United States Navy, and his little sister is a biomedical engineer who
does 3D mapping of the heart during electrophysiology procedures.
So they're living breathing examples of the American dream.
Clearly, I have every recessive gene in the book so it's quite amusing to go out and about
with Farrah because you can tell that people aren't certain what our relationship is.
Am I the nanny?
Was this brown eyed, olive skinned little girl adopted?
You can tell that it's truly a mystery to some people.
I was born and raised and still living in Houston, Texas.
No, I am not excited about the Super Bowl being here next weekend.
Like Dr. Dalton, we are Cowboys fans.
My husband has this fantasy that one day we'll have a son and we'll name him Ezekiel Dak
Mousavi.
Which is highly unlikely to happen.
My family is very very small.
I have two siblings and six cousins and that's about it!
My father was an only child and my mom has two younger sisters who don't live in Texas.
It's also no family secret that I was accident (my mom was almost 40 when she had me, my
dad was 42), so I wasn't born soon enough to really know my grandparents.
All 4 of them had passed by the time I was 11 years old.
Luckily, my mom (who is my personal hero), my older brother, and my older sister (who
is actually a CRC) all live in Houston so we're a pretty tight knit little tribe.
I've been working for a rehabilitation consultant and certified life care planner since 2013.
We do see cases that involve less serious injuries, but most of the cases we receive
are catastrophic injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputations,
and birth injuries.
Out of the 20 to 30 cases we have right now, one involves a 3 year old boy who is now a
paraplegic and another involves a 74 year old woman with a neck and shoulder injury.
So we see a wide range of disabilities across all age groups.
In regards to how I define group counseling, I would say my imagination immediately gravitates
to scenes from certain movies.
Like the group therapy scene with Edward Norton in Fight Club, or when Sandra Bullock goes
to rehab in the movie 28 Days and participates in group therapy, or the group therapy sessions
in The Fault in Our Stars in which the main characters are teenagers diagnosed with cancer.
Essentially, I imagine group counseling to be a somewhat random collection of people
who all have something in common that they seek support for or need support with.
I don't want to use the phrase "misery loves company", but I know that there is some truth
in finding comfort with the knowledge that there are others who are struggling with the
same things you're struggling with.
But it's not always enough to just coordinate a day and time for a bunch of people to get
together and vent.
I think the group counselor plays an important role in guiding the group towards productive
and meaningful conversations that hopefully help the group members cope with their problems
or address any unresolved issues they're dealing with.
Honestly, I think this course is going to be an online group counseling group that meets
every week.
If I interpreted the syllabus correctly and if it's anything like the microcounseling
skills course, I think we'll be taking turns acting as the leader of a group.
I suspect we will all get to know each other very well.
My goals for this course are to learn when it is appropriate and/or inappropriate for
me to intervene in the group's discussion; I want to learn how to not take sides or more
specifically, seem like I'm taking sides with other members over another.
Those are things that I'm concerned about even though I know there isn't an absolute
answer or perfect strategy to deal with those issues.
Whether my family or friends like it or not, I'm a big fan of telling them what I would
have done or said if I had been in their shoes.
So I think that's something my peers could do to help me learn: tell me what they would
have done or what they would have said if they were in my shoes.
I look forward to our group meetings and learning from everyone this semester!
See y'all on Monday!
